Does Flexnet implement large window / slow-start / selective nak?
If not, it cannot come near the best transfer rate over a poor channel.


I don't have any idea, Hank. It's a proprietary protocol, not open-source
and there is not much discussion of FlexNet's internal workings that I would
be privy to.


Oh. Never mind.

I run only code that I write myself, based on open and documented
standards. FlexNet is therefore totally uninteresting. But in any case,
it cannot get more throughput than what I mentioned in my other reply.
Did I mention that the code we run here also has adaptive parameter
settings? This stuff is not rocket science, and one can in fact do as well
as can be done using open protocols. No need to get stuck with a
protocol that is basically unsupported and undocumented.
